Thursday, November 10, 2016 Something wonderful happened this week. My grandson was helping me skirt some fleeces, and he got a little bored with that, and I saw him twisting some of the good stuff just for fun. Ummm, hello? Kiddo, do you know what you are doing? Twisting fiber is actually making yarn!!! So I ran and got him a drop spindle and after a brief lesson he spun yarn! He kept saying “I really am making yarn!” A perfect teachable moment.
Photo of the day: Why not twist some fibers together, right? Look Yaya, they stick together!
He picked some very colorful roving and continued twisting – he made yarn!
I think I have myself a new assistant! 😉
